Q explains his plan and Venus targets Hunter in new sneak peeks at Survivor 46 episode 9

Things are about to get spicy on Survivor 46! Survivor dropped two sneak peeks at season 46, episode 9, titled "Spicy Jeff," on Monday, April 22.

Everyone is a little bit hot in the clips from the new episode, which airs on Wednesday, April 24, only on CBS and Paramount+. In the first clip, Q has some serious explaining to do after blowing up his game along with the games of his allies at tribal council. In the second clip, we see Venus arguing with Hunter and Q after Hunter wrote Venus's name down following the chaos Q caused at tribal council in episode 8.

Tevin was voted out of Survivor 46 after Q's antics. Thankfully, we have the first look at what happened back on the beach when the tribe returned from tribal council.

Q claims he was trying to take accountability at tribal council

This is literally the funniest explanation as to why Q tried to blow things up at tribal council. To back up a few steps, Q asked his tribe to vote him out of the game after he learned the plan to vote for Tiffany had backfired. Instead, Tevin was targeted by the rest of the tribe. Knowing his plan had backfired and he'd betrayed several alliance members, Q tried to take accountability and asked to be voted out. His allies, who were still willing to work with him, panicked, but they originally stuck to their original plan to vote out Tevin.

Kenzie and Maria, two of Q's allies from different points of the game, shared their frustations about Q's tactics. It seems like they're questioning whether they can work with him anymore.

Then, the clip cuts to Q in a confessional. He explains that he felt bad about how things went, and in his life, you must admit you're wrong and take accountability.

"So, I tried to take the heat and kind of fall on my sword," Q says. "But in the end, they didn't vote me like I asked them to. D***, I guess I'm too hard to kill right now."

Will Q go home in episode 9? Honestly, it doesn't seem like it based on what we've seen of the episode so far, but stranger things have happened.

Venus targets Hunter in new clip

Q is also a part of the second sneak peek shared from the official Survivor YouTube account. In the clip, Venus is questioning Hunter about voting for her. He says that he did it because he didn't know what to do after the chaos Q caused at tribal council.

Venus says so many things in this sneak peek. I don't even know what to make of it all. She calls them "bumbling buffoons," dumb-dumb meatheads," "rats," and more.

"Honestly, they deserve what they got," Venus says. "Now the rest of their game is screwed."

She also called Hunter "Mr. Strategy," which is so funny because been actively not making huge moves in the game basically the entire time. It's only been recently, like since Q, Kenzie, and Tiffany worked with Hunter, that he's even been involved in any blindsides. Venus is acting like she's running the game and has been targeted when, in reality, all the votes cast her way were throwaway votes or votes to protect themselves in case someone played their Shot in the Dark and succeeded.

"The peace of knowing you're not going home is so sweet," Venus says.

Famous last words, Venus? Venus thinks Q and Hunter are going home, but Q still has friends, even if they're mad at him. It makes more sense to work with him now. The power he had is gone, and he owes Tiffany and Kenzie for telling Maria about her idol. Plus, Hunter has an idol of his own. I don't think either are going home.

But, we'll find out in episode 9 of Survivor 46 on Wednesday, April 24!
